OUCH!, one of the loops came off of a 220 conibear and I had forgot my safety device, I was able to wiggle my thumb out, nothing broken though.What tools does everyone carry to help get out of one?
thanks

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I am a little slow LOL

330-Trapper, I like how you put that flagging tape on the spring. I have that same great setter, but am bummed because I lost the spring the other day.
